I was of his opinion before this whole dumbass lockdown started. Should only have been a lockdown for the elderly and those with serious pre existing conditions. Let the young workforce continue to work and let the virus run its course. Focus the government stimulus and whatever aide toward the elderly and high risk population that would be forced to stay home

Rational action...but a guarantee for a Trump defeat at the Polls in November. Bodies of old folk and obese young Minority women (Mothers) would be stacked in those trailer trucks by the tens of thousands, as hospitals were overwhelmed due to the fast spread of the highly contagious virus.

Cost>>>>Benefit. Seriously damaged Economy...or Biden (and a rogue Obama, et al) at the helm for the next term. And a guaranteed "fundamental change". Not that Trump's action - muscled by Dem control of the House - isn't essentially the 'fundamental change' that the Dems promote anyway.

The old days are over...they won't be coming back. But that Virus will, in mutated versions...which will wreak havoc on the weak. And that is assuming that the Chi-Coms aren't engineering another more lethal form of bio-weaponry. This current version was very successful in serving their interest (removing Trump/crippling US), whether they intentionally loosed it or not.

Strap in.

I agree with your post, but...

Without a mass shutdown, this would lead to some serious adverse consequences. If the elderly and people w pre-existing conditions need to shelter in place, they most likely would lose their jobs. Without the shutdown, they would not have the new protections. If the gov't out in some exceptions, you'd see a flood of people with newly discovered pre-existing conditions.

I don't agree with the shutdown, but you can't isolate some without major adverse consequences.
